Gnumeric 1.1.5 aka 'there is no release #4' is now available.
Lots of fun tibits in here. Most noteably, Andreas has been kicking the
printing system into shape so things now work reasonably well, and should
be alot more usable than 1.0.x. Jon Kåre's work has paid of in spades,
Gnumeric can now be embedded in nautilus and libgnumeric is shaping up
nicely.
NOTE : We have disabled building 1.1 using gcc-2.96. There are a few known
areas where the compiler shipped with RH/Mandrake was causing numeric
inaccuracies in gnumeric. If you don't mind that feel free to manually
remove the prohibition.

Gnumeric 1.0.7 is now available.
This is a bug fix release, new development is being done in version 1.1.x
based on gnome2. This is a high priority update for a couple of reasons
- A patch in 1.0.6 broke xls export of empty strings. This fixes that
and enables those file to be read by Gnumeric.
- The translators hard work has paid off, the function manual has now
been shipped in translated form to 12 languages.
- An oft requested feature to support 1 click import of tab delimited
files has been added. No need to use the import guru for simple
things anymore.
Many thanks to Ray Dassen (Debian maintainer) for helping to improve
portability and patching niggly warnings from gcc-3.1
NOTE : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81104
Although I have never been able to reproduce this I suspect it has been
patched. For those of you who were experiencing this crash _please_
test 1.0.7. I'd like to close the report.
* Patches
Almer:
* Fix (possible) segfaults caused by the "mid", "left" and "right"
right string functions and protect those functions and
the "replace" function against invalid arguments.
* Fix validation entry sensitivity.
Jody:
* Fix some memory problems in the solver.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81104
* Don't crash on xls import/export if locale is confused.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83794
* Simple auto-detection of tab delimited vs csv
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79735
* Avoid mistranslated font names.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81897
* Actually disable wide character checking if it is not available.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79925
* Fix grab when selecting a col/row with validation failure.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80784
* Handle inserting col/row if the first is hidden.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80134
* clone grouping and frozen status too.

realized.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81766
* Handle some XL export breakage cause by TagoH's patch.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82847
* Fix advanced filter of value based implied enums.
* gdk_flush after all grab/ungrab events so that long running
operations that do not update the display are certain to ungrab
without delay (thanks rconover)
* Apply the accounting format rather than the numeric version for
Keelyn.
J.H.M. Dassen (Ray):
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81456

I have just released libglade 2.0.0, available at:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/earthquake/sources/libglade/libglade-2.0.0.tar.gz
This is the first stable release targetted at GTK 2.0, and is part of
the upcomming GNOME 2.0 developer platform. There are not many changes
between this release and the previous one (1.99.12). The main one is
some updates to the documentation (some of the gtk-doc stuff got broken
when I was updating things a while back).
James.
